To an Englishman Morocco means nothing but a romantic, mysterious country which he has read in the novels. Morocco being a French colony, to many Frenchmen Morocco has no more meaning than a place where they might find a government job, buy an orange grove with their money or invest his money. It is only because of this reason that these poor starved countries are accepted as tourist resorts.Ģ2 So we can see the white people just regard their superiority as granted, they literally don't even see the wretched people of the third world and are so insensitive that they actually treat those countries as tourist resorts where they enjoy themselves and were oblivious to the suffering all around them. “This” here stands for the fact that people always miss the peasants labouring in the fields because they have the colour of the earth. They were prejudiced and hated by the nativesĢ0 Paragraphs 16-17 What is described in Para16-17? The hardworking but invisible people What tone does the author use in Para16 and 17? Bitter and ironic. If he had, the Jews would have been exterminated as they were in Poland and other European countries.ġ8 Para15:Witchcraft Orwell is probably referring to many occasions in the 1600's in both England and America when innocent women were often burned or practiced other cruel punishment for witchcraft.(such as hanging, drowned in the lake, stuck with needles ) By the very nature of the charge it was impossible for the accused to defend herself.ġ9 Para15: Why Orwell mentioned the old women who were burned for witchcraft? Just comparison -Jews have the same fate as the old women who practiced the witchcraft. It was lucky for the Jews that Hitler had not come to this place. There are many words used vivid and impressive such as frenzied rush, clamouring for, crawling out, groping in the airġ5 Paragraph 10 What’s the author’s purpose to describe their crazy for a cigarette? Just to expose that they work so hard maybe day and night, they felt tired and exhausted and boring.ġ6 Para11-15 the natives’ hostile attitude to the Jews. 8 Ghettoes : A ghetto is a part of a town or city in which many poor people or many people of a particular race, religion, or nationality live in isolation from the majority group in the town or city.ġ2 Paragraph 8 The crowded and unsanitary living conditions for Jews.ġ3 Paragraph 9 The bad working conditions for Jews.ġ4 Paragraph 10 Orwell presented us one specific scene about the Jewish people’s frenzied rush and clamouring for a cigarette. Their fate could be worse than that of the natives.ġ1 Para. 8-15? The plight of the Jews in a colonial country. So this thesis is going to be supported by more illustrations and examples in the following parts.ĩ Paragraph 4-7 the author just presents us a dramatic scene about –an Arab navvy begging for a piece of bread what is the author’s intention to describe the government employee’s bad situation? Even an employed laborer goes starving, so you can imagine the plight of the poorer people in this place.ġ0 Paragraphs 8-15 what did Orwell want to illustrate to the readers? In Para. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals not human beings. 3? All colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact.
Ĩ Paragraph 3 What is the thesis statement in Para. The situation described still exists now –their lives are still poor and miserable. 2? How the dead people are buried in Marrakech Can you pick out some words or phrases you think the author used well to present the vivid picture? mourners wailing a chant, corpses wrapped in a piece of rag, carried on a rough wooden bier, friends hacking a shallow hole, dumping the body in it, flinging some dried-up earth over it, no grave stone … all the facts show that the human life here has no value at all.ĥ Paragraph 3 -Please find out one important figure of speech –rhetorical questions used in this para.? -And how about the tense used in this para.? -And where is the thesis statement of the whole lesson in this para.?Ħ Paragraph 3 there is one important figure of speech used in this para -a string of rhetorical questions What is the effect by using the rhetorical questions here? To show the writer’s uncontrollable outrage And he wants to expose the evils of colonialism and imperialism.ħ Paragraph 3 What is the tense used in this Para.? What does it mean? The author used simple present tense here. 3 Paragraph 1 What is your first impression about this place after you read it? We can see poverty of the place and unsanitary condition of this cityĤ Paragraph 2 What can we learn by reading Para.
